  • Britain’s interior minister visited immigration facilities on England’s southeastern coast Thursday as she grappled with an overcrowding crisis at a migrant facility and an outcry over her claim that the UK faced an “invasion” of asylum-seekers.
  • Home Secretary Suella Braverman is under heavy pressure to address potentially unlawful conditions at Manston, a converted airfield that has held up to 4,000 people who made hazardous journey across the English Channel on small boats to reach the UK.
  • The building, meant to be a temporary processing center for new arrivals, became a focal point this week after it emerged that some migrants have been detained there for weeks in cramped, inhumane conditions.
